Family Pictures 2013

Time for annual family pictures! Spring time, a 4th birthday for Carter and a half birthday for Ella meant lots of pictures needed to be taken!! Thanks to my sweet and very talented friend Laura for all these images. Love them all, and we'll cherish them forever!

 

I'm impressed that we ended up with so many good family shots!!

  Love my boys.

 

 

 

  This one in particular captures their relationship so well right now...

He's silly, loud and always messing with her.... and she's usually looking at him like he's crazy!

 Big, handsome 4 year old boy!

 

And happy 1/2 birthday to our little miss!!

 

 (I know I'm biased, but seriously, how stunning is she in this picture?!)

 

Boys' Campout, Spring 2013

Eric, Jared, Jason, and Josh got together to plan a fun little adventure for all the boys (Carter and his best little friends Mason, Gavin, & John). And this weekend, they all enjoyed their first ever "boys' campout." They went up to Eric's parents' property for fishing, camping, and lots of fun! I'm thankful to have some cute pictures of the boys, but unfortunately Eric only thought to pull the camera out basically the first 5 minutes after they got there, and the last 5 minutes before they left. So John didn't make it into any pictures, and neither did any of the Daddies. :(  But, here are some good shots Eric got.

Carter & Gavin waste no time getting their fishing poles out.

 Setting up camp.

Snack time.

 Love this series of shots of my handsome little boy fishing early in the morning!

 So grown up!

 Mason fishing off the dock.

 They caught lots of fish!

About to head home. Carter & Mason pose for a few quick pictures.

 Precious!

 

 Best buds!

(Or as Jared called them, "frenemies".... there is so much truth to that!)

 

I love that they did this and all had such a wonderful time. I know they'll remember this for a while, and we'll all be looking forward to next time!
